How do i load a magazine?

You can drag and drop a magazine from inventory on your slot on the rifle or a gun. Your gun must be in your hands to do that though.

It's a bit convoluted but the only way I can do it is:
1). Put empty mag in hands slot
2). Drag correct bullets onto mag, you should get a load option (do that)
3). Drag full mag to inventory, move weapon (without mag) to hands slot
4). Drag full mag onto weapon
5). I think then also need to switch to main view and R to reload to get one in the chamber ready

When I reload my ak. It only ever loads one bullet at a time. Help me Senpai!

But what if i don't have a 'reload' option? I have the bullets, the mag, and the weapon, but i can't put the bullets inside the mag, it literally says that the bullets ARE for that specific weapon, so why wouldn't it let me reload it?

You have to manually load the bullets into the mag. Put mag in inventory slot, drag bullets over mag and it should give you the option to load. Then put the mag back in the weapon while weapon is in your hands. If that is not working, what bullets and what weapon?

R for reload only works if you have an extra mag to swap to, or if you are shooting single shot when you have no mags. It doesn't automatically reload a mag with bullets.

1. You don't have to put the magazine in your hands. You can load a mag that is in your inventory and even on the ground if you want.The bullets can also be anywhere in your inventory or in the local area (on the ground). The only place you can't load a magazine is when it is equipped on a weapon (or in a world container).
3. The weapon always has to be in your hands in order to interact with it. This includes loading the mag or equipping any attachments. You can drag the attachments/mag to the weapon, or you can just right click and choose equip.
5. The weapon will automatically load a round in the chamber which is obvious from the decrease of 1 round from the mag. For instance if you're using the AK it'll show 31/30 if you have one in the chamber and a full mag (like after reloading with a partial mag in use). Otherwise it'll show 30/30 and the magazine itself will show 29/30.

Picture for a visual example:

You can never manipulate an item that is inside of a world container like when you're looting a crate or something. Pulling a mag or bullets out of the crate is the only option. You can't load them directly from the world container.

There are only a couple of times where an item has to be in your hands for use. The only two that come to mind right now are filling bottles and equipping attachments to weapons. There might be a couple other examples, but loading magazines isn't one of them.

Without a mag pressing R to reload will only put a single round in the chamber. Otherwise if you have any loaded magazines in your inventory it'll switch to that loaded mag. If you have no loaded mags it'll just load one in the chamber.

Have you ever had reloading swap to an empty mag? It happens to me every now and then since the last update. I usually carry 6-8 M9 mags that I refill every visit "home." Sometimes when reloading, my character will only remove the empty mag. Other times he will replace an empty one with another empty one despite having 4+ FULL mags also in my inventory. Usually reloading again will put a full mag in, but it's QUITE frustrating when I'm trying to kill a puppet running towards me and reload to an empty mag. I usually stop playing for the day once this happens.

UPDATE: i reinstalled the game and not it works properly, it also solved many other minor bugs i've found, not sure what the actual problem is but whatever it was it got solved on a quick reinstall, thank you for your responses.
(Those other things include texture buffs, hitbox-collision box that were evidently not syncronized, clothes that didn't show as equiped on my inventory, etc).

The only time I've had this sort of problem is if I get hit by something mid reload. Getting hit cancels the reload action and you have to try again. I've never successfully reloaded from an empty mag into another empty mag like you're describing.

It'll chamber automatically when you load it.

Yeah, I just noticed it right after I posted. I had grabbed the wrong weapon out of my chest, that I had never loaded, and I got confused, thinking it was the one that I had just got done loading up. lol
